Specificatii
After spending two years in bed with Lyme disease, Steven Kotler
had lost everything: his health, his job, his girl, and, he was
beginning to suspect, his mind. Kotler, not a religious man,
suddenly found himself drawn to the sport of surfing as if it were
the cornerstone of a new faith. Why, he wondered, when there was
nothing left to believe in, could he begin to believe in something
as unlikely as surfing? What was belief anyway? How did it work in
the body, the brain, our culture, and human history? With the help
of everyone from rebel surfers to rocket scientists, Kotler
undertakes a three-year globetrotting quest. The results are a
startling mix of big waves and bigger ideas: a surfer's journey
into the biological underpinnings of belief itself. Steven Kotler's
novel The Angle Quickest for Flight was a San Francisco Chronicle
bestseller and won the William L. Crawford IAFA Fantasy Award. His
nonfiction has appeared in the New York Times Magazine, GQ,
Discover, Outside, Details, Wired, Men's Journal, and elsewhere. He
lives in Los Angeles. Praise for West of Jesus West of Jesus is one
of the smartest books ever about the sport and religion of
surfing.-Los Angeles Magazine The ideal book for any readers who
have ever asked themselves, 'How did surfing take over my life?'
Kotler brings us closer to the answers via a wild, globe-trotting
journey in search of surfing's much-referenced but rarely discussed
spiritual side.-Los Angeles Times A surprisingly entertaining
nonfiction account of his own spiritual quest through surfing...
Kotler is often laugh-out-loud funny.-San Francisco Chronicle
Kotler's tale starts slow and then, like a seasoned surfer
calibrating his board to his ride, monumentally catches
stride...Call it mysterioso or the oceanic feeling, what Kotler's
seeking is nothing less than the big explanation.-Village Voice
